Amazons Will Choose New Members Today
Today, the first Friday in April, marks the annual election of sophomore and junior women of prominence to the Amazons, honorary organization for women.
Nominations of those eligible will be made in regular meeting at noon in the Women’s Residence Hall by a committee which has been working on the matter for the past month, and also from j the floor. Eligibility for membership requires ten activity points by women, either sophomore or juniors, who have taken an active interest in the welfare of their Alma Mater.
“About fiften, or perhaps more, will be taken in this year, according to the
number filling the requirements and passing the elections with a three-fourths majority,” Martha Wiggett, Amazon president, stated.
Cancel Future High School Engagements Because of C. I. F. Ruling Talk.
Because some of the high school principals have interpreted the presentation of the Southern California deputations skit as “rushing” propaganda the dates for the rest of this year have been cancelled by the student deputations committee.
“NOT RUSHING”
According to Sam Gates, chairman of the committee, the program was in no sense intended as “rushing,” but rather to interest the high school students in the proposition of a higher education. However, since it has been misinterpreted, it wiil no longer be given. A copy of the letter which is j being sent to the principals of those high schools which were yet to be visited by the Trojan cast follows: ‘‘Sometime ago a representative from the University of Southern California called upon you, making arrangements for the presentation of the Deputations Committee sketch before your Student Body. The program has been given this year, as before, and has always been favorably received by the high school students and faculty.
“However, in view of recent C. I. F. rulings and other information which has come to us, we deem it advisable as a Student Body to discontinue our work before high schools. We believe that by so doing we will relieve both your institution and ours of any possible embarrassment. Let me say, though, that as a University Student Body we shall be glad to be of any service we can render you as the chief administrative officer of your institution. But under the circumstances requests for this type of service should probably be initiated from the high school rather than from the University.
“Generally speaking, colleges and universities are now confronted with the problem of limiting their enrollments rather than increasing their enrollments. Hence our idea was not in any sense a matter of rushing.”

W. Roth, Noted Memory Expert, is Guest of Honor at Weekly Dinner Meeting.
Interest in the election of officers of the Y. M. c.

The election of officers will be held : at the regular Wednesday dinner next w’eek.
Walter Mails and Claire McDowell (Mrs. Walter Mails) were to have been guests of honor at the dinner, but the movie stars were unable to arrive in time for the dinner from a “location” at Saugus.

Besides performing memory feats for the edification of those present Mr. Roth gave a short talk on the cultivation of the memory.
Church Senior League Plans Music Program
The Senior League at the University M. E. Church is planning a special musical program for their meeting on Sunday evening, April 3 Many of the members of this league are students at Southern California and the program is expected to be exceptionally interesting, being composed of solo numbers.
A few hours and they’ll be off— the Trojan track men bound for the Farm. Let’s make it a big rally this morning, both for University pep and for the team that is leaving to compete with one of our most formidable rivals. Everyone ought to be in Bovard auditorium this morning at 9 o’clock if he can possibly get there.
* * *
These laconic sentences from “Bill and Art, ’ telling of debate victories are getting to be a regular thing. The last one, received yesterday, reads, “Puget Sound ours, 2-1. Stiff debate.” This tells a great story to all who know the fortunes of a “stiff debate.” Although they will not be here to read it, it is in order to congratulate these Trojans on their work. They are doing their part toward spreading the good name of their Alma Mater over the whole continent. So far they have been winning. But whether or not they continue to, we know them well en.rngh personally to know that they will represent Southern California.
* * <=
This idea of the Executive Committee’s to have an annually-elected University historian is not a bad one. There are only two historians of the institution in existence now, that we know of. The plan to add to these by yearly installments, which could be bound every so often, and thus to keep an up-to-date record constantly is a good one. Be thinking about a choice for next year’s historian ; it may be that he will be chosen bv student body vote, although that is not likely.
* * *
The way Americans butcher the fine meaning back of some of their memorial days was brought out in a class the other day when the subject of Easter sales was mentioned. What does Easter stand for? To a great many people it is the time to buy the new spring “finery”. This attitude puts another beautiful day in a class with Christmas, the Fourth of July, and Thanksgiving.
* * *
The frosh are to get some special attention in the orientation classes, we are told. That’s a fine idea. Maybe that will prove to be the place where Southern Californians in the future will learn to sing their Alma Mater’s songs. Certainly something ought to be done to have these learned by more students than now know them.
Captain Ed House Will Give Some Facts on Personnel of Varsity.
For the purpose of giving the track team a good send-off on their trip in conquest of the Stanford track and field team, a short rally will be held at 9 o’clock this morning in Bovard Auditorium.
All the members of the team who are making the trip will make their first appearance of the year before the student body along with coaches Dean Cromwell and Tommy Davis. Captain Ed House will tell the student body some facts in regard to the personnel of this year’s varsity. According to Coach Cromwell, Ed House is carrying well the captain’s responsibility which Bud Houser left him.
Tommy Davis, assistant to Coach Cromwell, will tell something of the Trojans’ chances to bring home the “red bird of the north”. Tommy has been connected with Southern California for fourteen years and almost always dopes the Stanford meet correctly.
Burdette Henney, yell king, will make his spring debut and bring out all the spirit that has been held in check since the last game of football, giving everyone a chance to yell and sing. Henney’s assistant will be Bill Smith, from the School of Music, who has been at the organ at every rally during the year.
The rally will be absolutely confined to “pep” and will be only fifteen minutes long. Sam Gates is in charge of the rally and urges everyone to come out and help give the team the spirit that will be needed in the big meet on Saturday.
Coach Templeton Confident of Cardinal Victory; Trojan Chances Depend on Condition of Injured Athletes.
BY HAL SILBERT
With the track and field dual championship hanging in the balance, 32 Trojans, with a determination that bespeaks ill to the wearers of cardinal jerseys, entrain this evening at eight o’clock on the Lark to meet Coach Dink Templeton’s powerful aggregation. -♦_
MEN FURNISH PLANS FOR GREEK DANCE
Annual Inter-Fraternity Dance To Be April Fool’s Day Affair At Ambassador.
With each fraternity, both social and professional, selecting its twelve most prominent men to attend the affair, plans for the fourth annual Inter-faternity Dance tonight at the Fiesta Room of the Ambassador Hotel have been brought to a successful close, according to the committee in charge.
Those making arrangements for the evening’s entertainment are as follows: Ravelle Harrison, general chairman; Paul Fritz, music; Henry Oudermeulen, decorations; Frank Ferguson, program; and Ray Foote, tickets.
Programs and decorations are to carry out the spirit of April Fool’s Day. Heretofore the dance has been given as a formal affair. It will be informal tonight for the first time.
If fraternities have not yet received their full quota of tickets, because of any misunderstanding, those who attend may procure them at the door tonight, according to the chairman.
BATTLE OF WITS
Tomorrow's battle, heralded to be the greatest track meet to ever be staged on the Pacific Coast, will he a battle of wits, as well as a struggle of limbs. Cromweir vs. Templeton. Old, shrewd Dean vs. young, wily “Dink”! The Trojan coach determined to gain his second consecutive victory over the Cards, the Stanford mentor resolved to regain lost championship laurels.
It is known that Cromwell has joggled his men about in the various events so that the maximum scoring power of the Trojans will be fully utilized. Templeton has bis men in the pink of condition. They are ready for troy.
CARDS GIVEN BIG EDGE
ASSOCIATIONS PUN EASTER MEETINGS
Y. M. and Y. W. Will Conduct Series of Pre-Easter Services Next Week.
Carrying on a custom which has long been established ,the campus Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. will jointly conduct a series of meetings on pre-Easter themes every morning next week. The groups will gather promptly at 7:30 A. M. and will be concluded by 7:55, in ample time for 8 o’clock classes.
The spiritual interpretation of the Easter story in the terms of today is the general theme around which the specific topics are formed. The gatherings will be led entirely b> students and will be of a discussion group type.
The subject chosen for Monday morning is “The Background of Easter.” Florence Niehol will be the leader. Other subjects which will b3 taken up during the wreek are “The Teaching in the Temple,” “The Last Supper,” and “Gethsemane.”
It is anticipated that a large group of students will attend these gatherings during the week.
Speech Cast Presents Program on Radio KFI
“An Innocent Bystander,” by Richard Connell, was the play presented over the KFI drama hour last night at 7 o’clock by the speech students.
The people taking parts were At Morgan, William Taylor, Joe Wiseman, F. A. Virts, Julias Florsheim, Frances Evans, and Helen Pargellis This was the largest cast ever used in a radio play and was successful, according to Miss Hanna, because the play was written so that it could be broadcast without confusion. Many letters have been received from radio audiences and have been posted every week on the bulletin board in the speech hall.
Several of the best known local probnosticators have gone so far as to say that the most that Southern California may hope for is to be within ten points of Stanford when the final score is announced. Ths S. C. coach in a statement to tbe press earlier in the week stated that he expected to go down to defeat by a margin of 20 points. On the other hand, Templeton, before a group of Stanford students, declared that a win for the northerners is practically a certainty.
Much depends on the condition of Cliff Reynolds’ leg. Yesterday the blonde hurdler pronounced the injured portion of his anatomy to be feeling better than at any time since the unfortunate coMision with a stray discus. Cliff, in tiptop shape, is considered a better bet to cop the high sticks than Ross Nichols, the Card ace.
Besides his work in tbe barriers, should Reynolds be able to stand the gaff of few good leaps in the broad jump. The locals stand a possibility of scoring a clean sweep in this event.

Speech Cast Presents Program on Radio KFI
“An Innocent Bystander,” by Richard Connell, was the play presented over the KFI drama hour last night at 7 o’clock by the speech students.
The people taking parts were At Morgan, William Taylor, Joe Wiseman, F. A. Virts, Julias Florsheim, Frances Evans, and Helen Pargellis This was the largest cast ever used in a radio play and was successful, according to Miss Hanna, because the play was written so that it could be broadcast without confusion. Many letters have been received from radio audiences and have been posted every week on the bulletin board in the speech hall.
Several of the best known local probnosticators have gone so far as to say that the most that Southern California may hope for is to be within ten points of Stanford when the final score is announced. Ths S. C. coach in a statement to tbe press earlier in the week stated that he expected to go down to defeat by a margin of 20 points. On the other hand, Templeton, before a group of Stanford students, declared that a win for the northerners is practically a certainty.
Much depends on the condition of Cliff Reynolds’ leg. Yesterday the blonde hurdler pronounced the injured portion of his anatomy to be feeling better than at any time since the unfortunate coMision with a stray discus. Cliff, in tiptop shape, is considered a better bet to cop the high sticks than Ross Nichols, the Card ace.
Besides his work in tbe barriers, should Reynolds be able to stand the gaff of few good leaps in the broad jump. The locals stand a possibility of scoring a clean sweep in this event.
